Believe it or not, the Army trains all the time, all over the world; even while deployed. I did a training exercise in Afghanistan when things were still popping off, because we had a mission coming up that needed practice.

Training never stops.

Liberation will never come from the state, it will only come from your community.

Here are 10 ways to build community resilience.
https://t.co/egoptax4Bv aid fund. Pool small recurring contributions, give to whoever needs it, no application or means-testing. Keep the books transparent.

https://t.co/2JQMvhJRue your block. Get names, numbers, and who has what (a truck, medical training, daytime hours). A phone tree for one street beats any city hotline in a crisis.

3.Skill shares. Teach each other what you’d otherwise pay for: first aid, repair, food preservation, childcare, tax prep. Each skill is one less outward dependency.

https://t.co/K6hbLGgL64 infrastructure. Community fridges, free pantries, a garden, a bulk-buying club. Easiest on-ramp because everyone shows up for it.

https://t.co/lKaq3BOdeK networks. Meal trains, childcare swaps, rides to appointments, eldercare check-ins. Unglamorous, and the backbone of everything.

6.Rights and legal. Know-your-rights trainings, a list of trusted lawyers, bail funds, jail support, copwatch. An arrest shouldn’t wreck someone.

7.Conflict without the state. Practice de-escalation and accountability before you need it. Build a number to call that isn’t 911 for situations that don’t need it.

8.Disaster prep. Decentralized caches of water, meds, batteries, tools. A plan for who checks on whom. Organized communities outperform the official response.

9.Own your comms. Signal threads, encrypted chats, a printed newsletter for the offline. Don’t let your network live on one platform that can ban or hand over your data.

10.Organize where you live and work. Tenant unions, eviction defense, workplace solidarity. Collective leverage over rent and wages cuts the desperation that breeds dependence.

The usual failure is burnout and three people doing everything. Rotate roles, write down how things work, and treat shared meals as real work. Strong relationships make it work when things get tough.

Hear me out: when a bot purge happens on 𝕏, you aren’t actually losing any followers because they weren’t real to begin with.

Gun owners watching Ríhanna Kelver’s case should look past her and at the reasoning being used to condemn her, because that reasoning travels.

The facts are on video. A man shoved her to the ground. She drew her pistol, racked it so they would hear it, and pointed it at the man who had just attacked her. She never fired and kept the safety on. The man who shoved her first was never charged. She was, with two felonies and up to fifteen years.

Kelver is not the careless stranger her critics imagine. She grew up around guns and took hunter and firearm safety courses. She was armed that night because of a stalking situation serious enough that the man had already been thrown out of her workplace. That is the responsible carrier the gun community claims to defend.

Even the law she’s charged under protects her. Wyoming only makes drawing a weapon a crime when it is not “reasonably necessary in defense of his person.” Yet many of the people demanding her conviction are not arguing the facts. They are arguing that someone like her had no business being armed at all. The transphobia is doing the work the evidence can’t.

That is what gun owners should sit with. Once a community accepts that a self-defense right can be revoked because the defender is the wrong kind of person, the standard stops being what you did when attacked. It becomes whether the people judging you approve of you. That logic will not stay aimed at trans women in Wyoming. Gun owners are a despised minority in plenty of places, and the same reasoning can be turned on a rancher or a concealed carrier just as easily.

Transphobes need to get a grip and see this for the trap that it is. A right that only protects who you like is not a right. It is a permission slip, and permission slips can be revoked.

Army Veteran Mike requested a Supply Crate so he could game with his family. When he received his new PlayStation 5, he sent this reply:

"Hi Brian,
Thank you so much for this. I truly appreciate the support from Stack Up and all the generous donors.
This gear will have a big impact on me—it will help boost my morale and give me meaningful time to bond with my family. Being able to relax, connect, and decompress together means a lot, especially after the demands of military life.
Thank you again to Stack Up and everyone who donated. Your support really makes a difference.
Respectfully,
Mike"

Thanks to @church_of_poe for supporting this Supply Crate!

We're pretty excited for this one and looking forward to you all seeing the design!

I understand that Ai is the way of the future.

But using fake Ai generated photos of military members, especially on Memorial Day, to get engagement on 𝕏 feels wrong.

The fabric poppies are engrained in my childhood memories.

[Happy Captain @EODHappyCaptain]

Got a metal poppy from the @VFWHQ today.

Is this a new thing, or something my local VFW is doing?

I preferred the fabric ones.

small rant // sorry i can’t sleep.

being a content creator is so much more difficult than people think. not physically but mentally and emotionally, existing in this space is so daunting sometimes.

.@SenSanders: "Thomas Massie—somebody who I have very little in common with politically—was defeated by $9M in contributions from AIPAC and $7M from Trump megadonors. And what was the great crime that Massie committed?…He refused to be a rubber stamp for Donald Trump."

Dear Thomas Massie,

Tear it all fucking down on your way out.

Sincerely,

Crazy that 70-80 year olds are generally seen as unemployable due to physical and mental decline. But we're allowing them to run our entire country.

I lost the election but we started a revolution. Keep the flame of LIBERTY burning my friends! I will continue to put People and Principles before Party. America First! 🇺🇸
